About Mexico's overnight target

Banco de México overnight target, from the BIS policy-rate data set (WS_CBPOL, MX). Current: 6.50% on 17 Sep 2026. Since 2008 this is the money-market overnight target; 1998–2008 is the bank funding rate.

The chart is a step at policy changes. From 3 Nov 1998 to 17 Sep 2026 (10,181 observations): mean 7.75%, median 7.01%; low 3.00% (6 Jun 2014), high 36.41% (14 Jan 1999). Not a mortgage or deposit rate. This page is not an official BIS publication.

Reading this series

Banco de México's overnight target is the policy rate the central bank uses to guide short-term peso interest rates. This page uses the BIS central bank policy rate series for Mexico (WS_CBPOL), compiled with Banxico, stored as dated level changes and drawn as a daily step series from 1998. Since 2008 the series is the money-market overnight target; from 1998 to 2008 it is the bank funding rate, the instrument used before the current framework. The target changes only at Banxico's monetary-policy decisions.

Read the headline with its as-of date, then the "versus the previous reading" line. Where the target has been unchanged, the page shows the date of the last actual move instead of zero changes. Mean, median, low and high are arithmetic summaries of the observations in this build and are not official figures. Chart and Table present the same series two ways, the range buttons filter what is drawn, and Explore adds zoom and pan on request. The overnight target is not a mortgage or deposit rate, and this page is not an official BIS publication.

About this desk

Germany has no separate policy rate in this build. The Germany desk therefore leads with the ECB deposit facility rate, the euro-area policy rate set by the ECB Governing Council, then €STR, the euro overnight market benchmark. UK, US and other official rates follow. Germany is in the euro area, so its monetary policy is set in Frankfurt; inventing a Bundesbank policy series would misrepresent the data, and the desk does not do that.

France and Italy share the same two ECB series, and the /ea/ desk is their natural home. The figures are read from the ECB Data Portal and republished with attribution under the ESCB statistics reuse policy. Every desk shows the same set in a different order, so switching desks changes the menu, not the numbers. The build ingests no German retail rate series, so none is shown. This is not financial advice.
